Justin is not on staff with Cru and therefore I am leaving my position with Lifelines to work in ministry to my husband and eventually our family. My last day of work was August 15th. I am sad to go but I am excited for my new role as wife. I hope you can share in my excitement as well. As far as your involvement in this ministry goes, I am so very grateful for the investments that you have made throughout the years to impact the campus and the world for Christ. You have been a blessing to me in ways that I cannot describe. Thank you. If you are currently donating on a monthly basis you can continue August 2011 to give through September to help cover my severance pay as well as leftover expenses from my summer tuition. If you would like to continue to contribute to the movement on campus there are a few staff members at UVA with Lifelines that I know are in need of support as well as a couple working in West Michigan that I can connect you with. Please let me know if you are interested. Again, thank you for your faithfulness and generosity over the years, I hope that you have been blessed by this ministry as well. Though we will not be connected through Cru much longer please dont hesitate to keep in touch, I will still have my blog and my updated information is below. GOD BLESS!
